Yeh, i agree completely. He messed up everything for himself. He is a very fine player and it would have been great for India to have such a player at the moment. He also adds a lot of experience amongst many inexperienced players in the squad. If he had been good during his time, i'm sure he would have still been playing.

He was GOOD during his time. Disappeared only recently. Plus, he will most likely get a chance with Laxman if Kaif and Raina don't play well in South Africa.

He just might get a call up if the entire side get devoured by a pride of lions whilst on a trip to the Kruger National Park !!

I meant good in the sense, that he acted sensibly and didn't think of himself as above all others. As a cricketer, he was a very fine player - i think i mentioned that.

yeh but DF i wouldnt go by what u read about his selection in the press, what the indian selctors say is just PR exercise. They will not pick Ganguly again. What slegde said was spot on

As for being good, what was meant there, that if he had been nice to people and not arrogant or think he ruled india, he still would have had  many friends left in the selection committee, he was very heavy handed, and arrogant during his tim as captain, that does mean he was a bad player, far from it, he is one of the best ODI openers to have played the game, but his attitude was poor which is what has come back to haunt him. There is a saying " always be nice to the people you meet on your way up the ladder because one day everyone has to come down again, they will treat you the way u treated them". This is whats happening to ganguly people are getting thei own back.

Precisely. That was what i was trying to say when i meant "good." Ganguly is more than just a good player, but his attitude cannot be considered anywhere near good.

DF by sayiung "Ganguly wasn't an opener inzi329. He was much better down the order."

Just shows how much you know about the team you suport he spent most of his ODI career as an opener and thats where he got a huge bulk of his runs. Go check your facts before diving into say something which has no substance.

I agree, but his higher scores quick fires where down the order, but the bulk did come when opening.

Sourav and laxman need to be consistent ": Vengsarkar .Dilip Vengsarkar said that sourav ganguly and VS Laxman need to be consistent if they have to retain their places in the Indian team .Vengsarkar said that he was a great fan of both Ganguly and laxman and that their fieldind had cost them their place i the ODI team .he also said Ganguly needed to be more consistent and that he is ot out of his scheme of things .he said that their experience was immense and could walk into the team at any time when needed but their lack of form and consistencey prevented them to do so .

On that 118 on Ganguly now ": It was written on paper that there is god and then thee is sourav ganguly on the off side .he proved it again during that i nnings as those cover drives came out fluently .

and then there is the problem of facing shor pitched bowling into his body and he looks like a tailender. Lee, Bond, Shoiab all did that to him, in particular Bond, he made him look like someone who has never batted before, which is why he decided to put himself way down the batting order to avoid the new ball and the fast bowlrs first spell, this is why Chappell was against him.

That's what Dravid said about his off-side drives, although I thought he was mental when I heard that. He gets a lot of runs when in form, but his shots on the off-side are the most disgustiung shots I have ever seen. Well timed and everything, but not stylish or anything.

inzi329, everybody has there own weaknesses, and if Gangly stands for a long time (get the runs too) he can hit those shot deliveries for six too.

I agree with you completely. I think India need to search hard to find a captain like him. He did very well as a captain and gave the team a lot of confidence. Dravid is a good captain, but i think he needs to work harder to get to the standards of Ganguly's captaincy. Like you say, "What Ganguly has done for India, no other Indian can do..."

I agree that he has done a lot of great things, but I was talking about how disgusting his off-side shots are, not how bad a player he is.

I agree. I said that many peopel ahve said that after God, Ganguly is the best off-side player. I said that I didn't think that he was that great at it and started exagerating by saying that they are completely disgusting. That's all.

OK so the Ranji finals are coming up in  the gap between the end of the West Indies and the starting of the SRl tour .The two teams are Bengal and Mumbai .All big guns including Ganguly(bengal) and Sachin ,Agarkar ,Zaheer  and Powar(Mumbai) are going to play .Mumbai may feel they have the advantage but Bengal's Ranadeb Bose(45 wickets from 7 Ranji matches) and Manoj Tewari ,Abishek Jhunjhunwala and Ganguly are in devastating form .

So a quickfire centry from Tendulkar did it .Bose couldn't strike any blows after the first two .He has however completed 50 wickets this Ranji season from 8 Matches at an average of 15 or 16 .

Pulling up an old thread but didn't want to put these things in India-Pak thread.
Gambhir is making a very strong intent on getting in place of Karthik. He has been played well making 2 centuries and a fifty in 2 matches including one century following on. Sehwag is certainly not coming into the team for a while scoring just 57 runs in 4 innings.

India have been going a lot of players who are too young. There's many better players than Ishant Sharma who never get to play because they aren't as young. That's a bad thing. Older players are definitely better with more experience. This is what Pak are enjoying now with Misbah constantly saving them.
